BRINGING LIGHT TO THE BROKENHEARTED & HOPE BEHIND THE WALLS

ISAIAH 61:1

Welcome to Proud Prison Wives — where faith rises, families fight back, and hope wins.

Welcome, Beautiful Sister

If you are here, it is not by accident.

You may be searching for understanding, strength, answers… or maybe just a place to breathe.

Wherever you are right now — overwhelmed, heartbroken, numb, or holding on by a thread — I want you to know this:

You are seen. You are loved. You are not alone.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here.

Thank you for having the courage to click on something that maybe felt scary or vulnerable.

Thank you for choosing hope — even if it’s faint right now.

Thank you for showing up for yourself, because that step took strength, and I honor you for it.

This community was created for you — the wife, the mom, the fiancée, the girlfriend, the woman who never imagined her life would take this turn, yet here you are… still standing.

Here, your story is safe. Your heart is safe. And your journey matters.

My promise to you:

You will not have to walk this path alone anymore.

You now have sisters who understand, a place to find real tools and real hope, and a family that will speak life over you — even in the darkest seasons.

From my heart to yours…

Thank you for being here. You belong.

With love and unwavering belief in your strength,

Noél Bartlett

The Vision Behind Proud Prison Wives

From the minute Brett was indicted, I remember the whirlwind of emotions that hit me like a bag of bricks. I didn’t know which way was up. I kept trying to grasp what was coming and what our future might look like. I have never felt so out of control in my life—with every looming possibility of my world collapsing hanging above my head.

It’s a feeling I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.
The unknown is such a terrifying place to sit in. More than anything, I just wanted someone to take my hand and say, “It’s going to be okay. You are not alone in this. Let me help you.”

But no one around me could fully understand.

Speak Dog

Your dog already thinks you’re their whole world. Imagine how happy they’ll be when you finally understand them. Speak Dog is more than a training book—it’s a breakthrough in communication that will bring peace, obedience, and joy back into your home. I can guarantee you have never read a dog training book like this one.

The Heart Behind Speak Dog

This book was born in a prison cell, during one of the most painful seasons of our lives—when a service dog named Mr. Conrad helped restore hope and heal our family. Through that experience, my husband Brett discovered something life-changing dogs aren’t trying to be disobedient… they’re mostly just misunderstood. Speak Dog was created to help every dog owner bridge that communication gap and experience the deep connection their dog has been longing for. Click below to learn how this book began—and why it’s about far more than dog training.

WHAT THE HECK IS PRISON GOLF???

Every weekend, my husband Brett plays golf in federal prison—with murderers, drug dealers, and gang members. Yes, you read that correctly.

Brett (my husband) is serving time for white-collar crimes, so naturally, he has become the “best” Prison Golfer on the compound. But what’s even more incredible than the game itself is what happens when they play....

From the Bottom of Our Hearts, Thank You

To every wife walking this journey,

to every family member standing in the gap,

to every advocate, mentor, friend, and supporter who has chosen compassion over judgment —

thank you.

Thank you for believing in restoration when the world says it’s impossible.

Thank you for standing beside us when it would have been easier to look away.

Thank you for loving the broken, defending the forgotten, and helping us shine light into one of the darkest places in our nation.

Your prayers, your encouragement, your willingness to show up — it matters more than words could ever express.

Because of you, hope is rising. Families are finding strength. Wives are standing tall again. And what the enemy meant for harm, God is turning into purpose.

We are only just beginning this movement — and we could not do this without you.

From our hearts to yours: thank you for believing in Proud Prison Wives, for fighting for families, and for choosing love when it matters most.

With deep gratitude and love,

Brett , Noél, Cambria. Willow,

Lula, & Zion Bartlett
